15045877 and 15045878, they don't come painted either. Super expensive at the dealer. eBay seems to run about 150 a pair, I just got mine at the local junkyard for 70 bucks for the pair. Gotta sand and paint them still. Hopefully I can make them look decent with a rattle can

Look into SEM brand paints, they make some of the best paints for auto plastics (Adhesion promoters, etc and it comes in a rattle can :))

Coat wolf what's better about this sem brand and who carries it?

It's just a quality automotive plastics paint and I've used their products with excellent results. They have special cleaning soap, adhesive promoter for specific abs plastics and then quality paint - my local paint store carries it but it can be ordered.

Most paints are pretty good these days. I'm a bit ****. Bottom line I hate to redo jobs. With SEM I've never had to redo the paintwork. It lasts.

They have more than plastics paint / I'm just passing info that may be helpful for your plastic caps.

SEM is badass, and worth the money. However when I repainted my caps I used the duplicolor paint match setup, color plus clear and it matched awesome.

would you mind what grit you sanded with and when etc? which dupli color did you use for the white and clear? mine's white also, a 05 yukon i assume its the same.

I let a local body shop prep and paint/clear mine for $75. I was going to do the rattle can route but didn't have confidence in the finished product so i spent a little extra for this.....just something to think about.....GL

Def looks good did they did the sanding prep and supplied the paint for 75 bucks? I hope I can find that deal hell spray paint will cost me like 30
